Twenties 26  
by Jackson Mac Low


Undergone swamp ticket relative
whist natural sweep innate bicker
flight notion reach out tinsel reckoning
bit straddle iniquitous ramble stung


Famous furniture instant paschal
passionate Runnymede licorice
feature departure frequency gnash
lance sweat lodge rampart crow


Neck Bedlam philosophaster rain drape
lack fragile limitation bitartrate
fence lenghen tinge impinge classed
Fenster planetary knocked market


Glass killjoy vanity infanta part song
king cleanse vast chromium watch it
neat intense yellow cholera
ornithology insistence pantry


Torque normal fax center globe host
yammer ratchet zinc memory
yield texture tenure Penelope
reed liter risible stashed incomprehension



11 February 1990
Kennedy Airport. New York
en route to San Diego
